Roslyn Court Apartments
Roslyn Court, constructed in 1909, is one of Canada's finest apartment buildings in the Queen Anne Revival style. Popular between 1880 and 1914, this style is characterized by asymmetrical composition, contrasting colours and textures, and strikingly varied rooflines. It left a generous legacy of comfortable, highly decorative residences across the country, including this example. Designed by local architect W.W. Blair, Roslyn Court is among the few Queen Anne Revival apartment buildings that still retain their interior features, such as wood panelling, mouldings, stained glass and fireplaces.
